What Is a Faux Cuticle in Virgin Hair?
What Is a Faux Cuticle in Virgin Hair?
Virgin hair often contains what is known as a faux cuticle.
Because the hair is collected from multiple donors, the natural cuticles are not aligned. To correct this, the hair is processed and coated to simulate a smooth surface.
This coating:
• reduces tangling initially
• creates a smoother feel
• improves manageability
However, over time, the coating can wear off.
Once that happens, the hair may begin to behave differently.
This is why understanding your hair type is important when setting expectations.
